I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 163 Conditions
"What's wrong? Lin'an City has been sealed off again?"

"It's not blocked, it seems to be surrounded."

"It's all the same! No, I still can't get in! What to do with so many fish... Damn, there are so many things to do!"

From the road dozens of miles away from Lin'an, people who want to enter the city can be seen everywhere... A few days ago, there were rebels in the city, which had already cut off the livelihood of many nearby households. How long has it been peaceful since I came back!
It must be a lie to say that you are not angry, isn't this a joke!
Goods such as silk and cloth are fine, but if you encounter those who sell fish and meat, it will be hard for them. Although the weather is still cold, if you leave it for four or five days, it will stink no matter what.

If the owner in the city couldn't receive the goods, he couldn't get the money himself, and he had to bear the loss himself. For a while, although they didn't dare to enter the city, they only settled in a place a little far away. I only hope that the Lin'an Mansion, which has changed its orders day and night, will show kindness and stop driving people to a dead end.

When there are more people, they exchange news with each other, and each of them talks more.

The two fathers and sons who brought more than [-] baskets of sea fish, sat by the side with sad faces, and poured bitter water on each other with the butcher next to them.

"My brother came earlier, but I don't know what's going on in front of me? There are some incidents every day, but it hurts me."

The butcher was also worried, but compared to the fish seller, he seemed much luckier. He took out a jug from his waist and poured himself a big mouthful of wine. He wiped his mouth and said:
"The whole thing is fenced off, all the water gates and roads are like this, not even a bird can fly in."

As he spoke, he handed over the jug he had filled with wine, and the father of the family was not polite, took it and poured himself a big gulp:
"Thank you, old brother... Didn't you say that Zhao Guan's family has returned to Lin'an? How can this kind of thing still happen? Could it be that there have been other changes?"

"To tell you the truth, it's fine if you don't let me in this time, I'm afraid the court won't have any confidence... You see, I have brought so many fish over this time, and I have suffered such a few times!"

"Even if it is not allowed to enter, it is good for the court to throw out a word and give hope."

Although the butcher had a face full of flesh, he was a man who was good at negotiating, and he was also thinking about what the fisherman said. The two of them quickly became acquainted with each other as you sipped the wine.

"You can see that I came from another place, but I am not. I am from the city of Lin'an, but there is a yard outside the city, where I raise some animals and kill them. I send them to Lin'an before dawn... just yesterday I When I left the city, it was fine here, but today it looks like this."

"Just now I went to inquire about it, and the other side said that it is not a soldier of our Song Dynasty..."

The fisherman's eyes widened: "It's not a soldier of Song Dynasty? Then whose soldier can it be?!"

The butcher said: "You've got the point, so whose bloody soldier can it be! They keep saying that they are Jin people, and the Jin people are so easy to get along with us Han people?"

"I just kicked me out, not to mention my life, and I didn't even ask for a copper coin! Even the voice of the speech is kind, even more kind than those generals in the infantry division. You said they were golden Soldiers of the Chinese people, bah!"

He spat on the ground: "I'd rather believe that Sister Yao is a good person, and I don't believe that golden dog can change her temper... Maybe there is some kind of moth going on in the city. This fucking world is really not something ordinary people can live in."

That's what he said, but the guy next to him interrupted:

"Boss, that's not the case. I can see that their flags and decorations are indeed from the Jin people."

"Your golden mother! You are really a golden man, can you and I live till now?"

The guy was from the north, and he was convinced that he hadn't admitted his mistake, and he didn't dare to argue with him. He just shook his head and drove away the bugs that wanted to jump on the meat.

After hearing the man's description, the fisherman didn't know if it was because of the alcohol, so he got upset and yelled at his son to get on the cart. The butcher saw that he had turned the donkey cart around, and it was heading towards Lin'an City. direction, and quickly dissuaded him:

"Why are you so ignorant? I've already told you the scene ahead, and now no one can get in. If you're still like this, don't you believe me?"

"What if the person on the other side is really a golden person, and I just spared my life because of a momentary kindness. You went like this, and you ran into them with murderous intentions, so what should you do?"

The fisherman bowed his hands to him, but he was determined:
"Thank you brother for telling me, but these fish can't rot on the road for nothing..."

He pointed to his son and said: "I still have to earn money to marry him. If I go back empty-handed, the family will not even be able to uncover the pot. Instead of starving to death, it's better to go and die."

As he spoke, he slapped the whip on the donkey's buttocks and walked away slowly.

Looking at the backs of the father and son, the butcher took a big gulp of wine, but accidentally choked on it and coughed out his tears.

Like the fisherman, there are quite a few people, all of whom have little money... a little bit of money, and they don't want to take their lives for a joke, so they admit it; they don't recognize it, even though many of them know that there is a golden man in front of them , but they still couldn't stop their desire to enter the city. When many people were far away from Lin'an, these people became boats sailing against the current.

It didn't take long to reach the outside of the city. The fisherman circled around for several hours, and finally stopped at the bank of the Qiantang River... Just as the butcher said, Lin'an City was surrounded by people everywhere, not even a gap was exposed.

He waited and waited until the stomachs of the father and son started to growl, so they couldn't bear it any longer and went forward with the donkey cart.

A hundred steps away from those people, I saw them pointing their knives and guns at me. When the fisherman saw such a scene, his heart almost jumped out, but it was already an arrow on the string, so he had to bite the bullet and shoot at him. forward.

"Stop, stop!"

The fisherman was very obedient, and when he got in front of the group of soldiers, he immediately tightened the reins, and then hurriedly called his son to get off the car, and the father and son began to bow to these people continuously.

"The general is here, the general is here."

The soldier held his gun and ignored him, lifted the blue cloth covering his fish basket to check, and then said to him:

"We are the army of the Kingdom of Jin. Now the two countries are at war. This Lin'an City cannot be entered for the time being. You can go back."

The fisherman heard them admit that he was from the Kingdom of Jin, and his accent was indeed not like that of a Southerner, but his tone gave people the illusion that they could be discussed. He scolded the bastard of the Kingdom of Jin in a low voice, but when he looked up, his eyebrows and eyes were still low:

"The general has pity on the poor man. My father and son came from Dinghai, and what they brought was the fish set in the Huainan Tower in the city. You see, this thing really cannot be delayed. Please, general, let me deliver it to the master later." , send it and we will return right away.”

If the people in the north found out, this person was bargaining with soldiers from the Kingdom of Jin, so I don't know what expression he would have on his face.

Logically speaking, the fisherman should have been driven away immediately, or killed, but unfortunately, as the butcher said, these people are very friendly, not like soldiers, but They are people who eat fast and chant Buddha.

I saw one of them discussing with the other:

"This fish really can't be kept for a long time...or else..."

The other frowned: "This is not a trivial matter, we have to report it."

As he spoke, the man told the fisherman:
"Don't move around here."

He turned and left.

The fisherman was grateful and bowed to Dade, and he didn't know any words, so he didn't regard these people as golden people at all.

Not long after, a round-headed, round-faced, round-bodied person came among the group of people. Needless to say, he was rich and honorable, and his roundness made people feel that he was a talkative person.If an official came here at this time, his identity could be seen immediately.

This is not Uncle Qin, the chief steward of the Qin Mansion in the past, but who is it!
The fat man has already bought houses in several places, and his mother-in-law said several times. He only found out last month that his concubine was pregnant. Recently, it was a time of happy events, and he looked very happy.

He had no pretensions towards the fisherman, and when he made a bow to him, he was going to return it immediately. This gesture really made the fisherman a little confused.

Even our army in the Great Song Dynasty is never so polite!

After ordering a few people to check the fish basket carefully and confirming that there was nothing suspicious, Qin Da... now his name is Liu Da, and Liu Da questioned him happily. But without revealing the slightest flaw between the words, he already had a calculation in his heart.

"Well, you should sell this fish to us. You can tell us how much it costs, and you will definitely not lose your business."

"The siege of Lin'an City won't last long, at most two or three days. When you come again, you will be able to enter and exit normally."

The more talkative a person is, the easier it is for people to talk more. This may be pushing the boundaries, or pushing the nose on the face, but in any case, human nature is like this.

The fisherman has long regarded them as his own people, and he has grown a lot more courageous. Although this has indeed solved his own problems, there are so many businessmen in Song Dynasty. 'Two words?
If he accepted the general's words today, he would never even think about doing business with restaurants in Lin'an City.

This matter of killing chickens and extracting eggs cannot be done, and it cannot be done. Even if the fish is rotten and smelly, there will still be an excuse in Huainan Building in the future, but if it is resold to someone else, the nature of this matter will be completely different. changed.

"General, the Huainan Building has already ordered this fish. Although it has not entered Lin'an City, the fish has already returned to the Huainan Building. The villain really has no choice."

"If you like it, you can leave a place for the villain. When you come to An'an next time, the villain will personally pick a few big ones and send them to your house."

"If that person loses his integrity, let alone doing business, he can't even leave his house. I hope the general will take pity on him. It's convenient."

Liu Da put his hands on his waist, as if he was holding his stomach, and thought for a while... It was convenient for the fisherman, but it would be inconvenient for him to put him in the city.

Thinking of the virtues of the new master, this fisherman must not be offended, but if he is let in, he will inevitably be insulted and beaten by that master... This is the big butler who has worked in the Qin Mansion for many years and gives people the impression that he is all-round and slick , For a while it was even embarrassing.

Looking at the figure on the top of the city not far away, Liu's brain and eyes were spinning together, and finally he thought of a way.

"It just so happened that someone came out of the city. In this case, you give me the donkey cart together. I will pay you first, and then let that person deliver the fish into the city for you. This way, your reputation will not be damaged, and you will not be embarrassed." My errand."

"In this way, it is the best of both worlds, what do you think?"

The fisherman thought for a while... he had no other choice, and the fat general had no reason to lie to him. He paused, then stomped his feet and said:
"It's up to the general to decide."

"Come with me."

With Liu Da leading the way, this fisherman jumped up in the army camp for the first time in his life. If this matter is brought up, how many people will scold him for bragging.

But at this time, he didn't care about so many things anymore, he just looked around, and felt that everything he saw was new and novel, and he thought that his business was completed, his son was going to marry a wife and have children, and the incense was still on him after all. Hands, heart will inevitably be much happier.

When he arrived in front of a large camp, Liu Da let his father and son stand still, while he entered the camp alone... Surrounded by armored and armed soldiers, the father and son stood timidly in front of the door, not daring to enter the camp. There was a lot of movement, and even the sound of panting was much quieter.

"Father, these people... don't seem to be soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty."

Why should he say that the clothes and hair of these soldiers are not Han people, and there are people passing by who are chattering birdsong. The fisherman is afraid in his heart, so he just tells his son to shut up:
"Don't talk nonsense, you're a soldier of Song Dynasty!"

"But……"

The fisherman slapped his son on the head with a slap, and the pain made the boy really silent.

When Liu Da came out again, he was followed by a middle-aged man in a scarlet robe... With his attire, at least he was an official who started as a magistrate, and the things carved in his bones made the knees of father and son soften , almost knelt down.

Liu Da held them back: "This man will deliver your fish. I'll give you the money, and you just hand over the fish to me."

The man seemed to be unaware of what had happened, and ignored the two of them. He just looked at Liu Da with a flattering smile, and communicated with him in Jin Guo dialect.

"What do you mean, and what's the situation with these two people?"

This is why he came to Jin Kingdom camp to discuss the matter of withdrawing troops with a heavy responsibility. Zhao Huan, Emperor Xiaociyuan of the Great Song Dynasty, is a scholar after all, and he has stayed in Jin Kingdom for so many years. There is no difference.

Although Liu Da has been a Jin man longer than him, he has stayed in Song State for a long time, and he was not in the tent just now, but he did not expect this man to speak so much about Jin State...

typical.

The purity of the accent and the standard of vocalization, if he didn't know his identity, Liu Da would have taken him as a Song person if he wasn't sure.

After explaining the ins and outs to the emperor, Liu Da took out a piece of silver from his waist and gave it to the fisherman. The latter was grateful to Dade, and hurriedly went to the donkey cart to pack his things.

Zhao Huan was a little embarrassed: "You... want me to deliver the fish?"

Liu Da looked at him sincerely: "Otherwise? You don't want to go to the city, it's just a matter of passing."

"I...I don't know how to drive a donkey!"

The fisherman came over and said, "That's easy. This beast is like a horse, but it's very stubborn. Give it more food and less whips."

"you……"

Emperor Xiaociyuan looked at this stinky man with disgust, and when he got closer, he immediately felt a fishy smell in his nostrils.

"Do you know who I am!"

Knowing that he was an official, the fisherman was at a loss for words for a while, but Liu Da quit, and kicked on the haystack next to him, humming softly.

Just this soft moaning sound caused Zhao Huan to change his face in a vivid way, and the confidence to ask "Do you know who I am" disappeared, leaving only a gentle and jade-like appearance.

"So, then I'll try."

Liu Da saw all this in his eyes and shook his head slightly.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which is different, but it is still unimaginable that the gap is so large.

It's hard not to make people laugh at this presumptuous and then respectful appearance.

She cupped her hands towards him: "Then I will trouble Your Excellency... The matter has been discussed, Your Excellency should go back to the city earlier."

"Send our news, and remember to send the fish."

Zhao Huan kept nodding his head and finally headed towards Lin'an City with the donkey cart.

Since he left the city, an hour had passed since he returned. During this hour, except for Zhao Ding and the others who were constantly calming down the emotions of the people, Liu Bang stayed at the top of the gate of Jiahui.

The wine was set up and the banquet was held. It seemed that they just brought the unfinished things on Xiaoxi Lake here to continue.

"It's faster than expected."

Looking at the figure coming from a distance, although he rode a horse when he went, he changed to a donkey when he came back.

But Liu Bang still recognized him at a glance, but he was just curious, what kind of tricks the other side was doing, and why he asked him to bring something back.

"What kind of price do you think the Jinren will offer?"

The emperor suddenly asked a question, and everyone was silent for a while. The old princess looked a lot more amiable now... She seemed to have always been amiable, and Liu Bang didn't have much other thoughts about her.

Empathy is a very complicated skill for him, but he can understand and accept an old woman who is rich and willing to spend money for her relatives.

After all, he is also her relative.

Even a fisherman knows the reason why killing a chicken to get an egg is impossible, and he naturally knows it too.

The Qian family is his chicken.

"It's nothing more than those tricks... After all, they are northern barbarians. They want money, women and food. They can't think of anything else, and the officials are unwilling to give it."

Liu Bang looked at her and smiled: "That's not necessarily true."

When Zhao Huan entered the city, he didn't go up to the city gate at the first time. Instead, he drove the donkey cart out, handed the cart over to an imperial army, and gave him instructions for a long time before he arrived at the emperor.

"The official family..."

"What's in the donkey cart?"

"The fish and gold brought in by Baixin from outside the city... The gold thief kindly gave the people a favor and let the minister run this journey for them."

Several ministers who were busy down below, saw Xiaoci Yuansheng came back, and hurriedly followed up to the top of the city. After hearing what this person said, the expressions on their faces became weird.

The dignified Emperor of the Zhao family actually...

Ugh.

Perhaps this Majesty has already exposed the lower limit before, although everyone hates iron and steel, but everyone accepts it.

"So," Liu Bang stood up, "you didn't come to see me the first time you came back, did you go to deliver fish for the golden man?"

Zhao Huan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly started bowing.

He just wanted not to offend the Jinren, but for a moment he even forgot about his serious errands!
Liu Bang is angry, not because he puts others before himself, but because those bastards outside can't tell the difference... If you want to act, then you have to be real.

Letting people in so sloppily has become a child's play.

He looked at Zhao Huan and said angrily:
"Let's talk about business, what do they want?"

The Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan did not dare to neglect, and hastily stated the matter discussed just now:
"The Jinren want 10 taels of gold, 100 taels of silver, 100 pieces of silk, all the cattle and horses in the city, and the continuation of the previous peace agreement, asking Yue Fei and others to return to the south of the Huaihe River, and..."

This condition is much better than when Kaifeng was besieged back then, almost only [-]% of what it was back then... In Zhao Huan's opinion, since Lao Jiu wants people to withdraw, there is absolutely no reason to refuse.

After all, these requests are already considered benevolent by the Jinren.

Liu Bang took a deep breath and looked at the ministers:
"Everyone has heard it, what should I do?"

Zhao Ding is not very clear-headed now. On the one hand, he doesn't think the Jin people can come to Lin'an, but on the other hand, he really doesn't know where the officials found him.

Holding the idea that he would rather believe it, Zhao Ding stood up and said:

"The example of Bianjing City is in the front. Later generations mourned but did not learn from it, and it also made future generations mourn for future generations."

"Don't pay attention to the request of the Jinren. When the reinforcements from the generals arrive, they should disperse."

This was not the answer Liu Bang wanted, so he looked at Wan Qixi:
"What do you think?"

Wan Qixi's heart tightened... but he knew that the officials were dissatisfied with Zhao Xiang's answer, otherwise there would be no reason to ask himself again.

The answer is only those two, yes or no, if Zhao Xiangye ruled out one, then there is only one left.

But, is this really His Majesty's idea?

Wan Qixi paused: "I think what Zhao Xiang said is very true."

Don't offend the prime minister, and don't stand out. Even if the Emperor's bureau wants to blame, it can't blame himself.

This kid is smarter than a monkey!
Liu Bang was so angry that he had to ask Zhao Huan:

"Tell me."

The Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan didn't even think about it: "I think it's natural. After all, it's a way to save worry and effort without going to war, without hurting people's lives, and only spending a little money."

"Hmm..." The Emperor finally nodded, "It's just the money..."

Zhao Ding answered immediately: "The money that is not in the treasury is for the armies. If there is no money, there will be chaos in the army."

"This is also ha."

Zhao Huan thought he had grasped Lao Jiu's temperament:

"You don't need to touch the national treasury. The people in the city can raise some at will, it's not enough!"

"No, it's the people's money. If the city is in chaos, it will be internal and external troubles."

While Liu Bang refused, his eyes kept drifting towards the old princess.

The latter sighed lightly, and finally stood up.

"There are not so many in Lin'an City. If they want, I can write a note and ask them to pick it up elsewhere."

"That's too embarrassing!"

Looking at the old princess, he finally had the feeling of treating her as a relative.
